Slavery doesn’t end without a fight

Slavery didn’t end in 1833, when William Wilberforce’s decades-long campaign finally resulted in the Slavery Abolition Act. It didn’t end in 1863, when Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It didn’t end in 1949, when the United Nations declared trafficking “incompatible with the dignity and worth of the human person.” The sad truth is, slavery never ended. It just went underground, where it continues to exploit powerless men, women and children in horrific ways throughout the world. Now for the good news: you have power. In Refuse to Do Nothing, “Abolitionist Mamas” Shayne Moore and Kimberly Yim share their stories of coming to terms with the power available to them in their normal, everyday lives to:

illuminate the shadows where those who traffic in people hide

compel corporations to fight slavery in how their products are made

motivate politicians to fight for human dignity

mobilize friends and strangers alike to fight slavery at home and throughout the world

Slavery doesn’t end without a fight. But get to know Shayne and Kimberly and their abolitionist friends, and you’ll find the power God grants to all who fight for the powerless, and the joy awaiting those who refuse to do nothing.

One Soccer Mom Can Change the World!

Women are the caretakers of the world. Yet global HIV and AIDS and extreme poverty can seem overwhelming. Even if these things break our mother’s hearts, how is a busy, full-time mom to get engaged and make a difference?

Busy women everywhere will resonate with Shayne’s story as a mother of three who learned she could make a difference on the global level.

Activist Shayne Moore knows the challenge of managing a home and the desire to make a difference for those who are suffering.

Using the power of story, she inspires women everywhere to start right where they are and make a real difference.

1MT

1MT (One Million Thumbprints) is a grassroots campaign seeking to catalyze a groundswell of people focused on overcoming the effects of war against women through storytelling, advocacy, and fundraising. 1MT envisions a world where women are free from violence, oppression, and poverty caused by war.

Our response is two-fold: Advocating on a global level, urging the United Nations and other government leaders to follow through on resolutions that protect women in conflict zones, and funding programs on a grassroots, local level through our implementing partners in three of the most dangerous places to be a woman — The Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, And Syria/Iraq.
